Greetings All,
 
Whenever I study code generated by seasoned programmers (i.e. all the
Adobe people supporting Flex on this list) as well as countless others
on this list, I notice that some use "this" when referencing local
variables contained within a Class.
 
The last thing I want to do here, is start a heated discussion regarding
"best practices" for programming.  My goal on a daily basis, is to
better myself as a programmer, and I want to make sure that the code I
create, conforms to certain standards.
 
Could some of you please offer your 2 Cents regarding the
advantages/disadvantages of using "this"?  Just a quick example:
 
package
{
    public class myClass()
    {
        private var testVar:String;
        
        public function myClass( value:String )
        {
            this.testVar = value;
            // versus:
            testVar = value;
        }
    }
}
 
Thank you all so much in advance, for any help you can offer regarding
this topic.
 
Mike
